The player comes across a double battle with a wild dugtrio and a wild lapras. Dugtrio's ability is arena trap, stopping your pokemon from switching out. Lapras immediately uses perish song. You don't get a chance to switch out at the start of battle. Your goal is to get rid of the dugtrio and switch out your pokemon before perish song takes them both out.
Alternatively, two ghost type pokemon, one of them gets to use mean look for free at the start of battle to trap your pokemon, the other uses perish song.
Worth noting that if you have your own ghost types, or a soundproof pokemon, then this event becomes very easy

Uncertain. It works best with wild pokemon, but there's no biome with both lapras and dugtrio iirc.
Options offered to the player
[ ] Fight the pokemon
Find a way to switch your pokemon out before perish song defeats them
Both dugtrio and lapras have mostly defensive moves, but nothing that gives them full invulnerability for a turn (no protect, no dig)
[ ] To be honest, I haven't thought of any option other than battling them
I guess if you have a ghost type pokemon you can switch out for free
Explanation/Notes on Design
I just think this is a neat idea for a battle, where you have to take out one pokemon before a timer runs out, or two of your pokemon get KOed.

Does a 'free' perish song before the start of battle use up one of the 3 perish song turns?
